[...] provides, in a clear and reassuring way, information on the whole process of therapy, from 'Starting Therapy' to 'Finishing up in Therapy'. - Youthinmind

Someone To Talk To is a nonthreatening, inviting, interactive self-guiding manual to assist kids in getting the most from their cognitive behavioral therapy experience. * Midwest Book Review * This very interactive book is helpful and fun. This is a unique book because of the cover. You might think, “What about the cover?” The cover is what determines whether a kid is going to pick it up. Now you are thinking, “Then I will just make my kid read it.” In reality, though, your kids are not going to take advice from a book that they had to read. Luckily you don’t have to do any of that with your kid because Claire Keay made not just the cover appealing, but throughout the book there are colorful, detailed pictures. * Kids' Book Buzz (Sonja, Age 9) *
